Declaration of Sentiments Current Lecture• South had pressure from north to abolish slavery• South wanted nothing to do with industrialization• During the Revolution people knew slavery was wrong but didn't know how to get rid of it• What to you do with former slaves? (extremely racist and don't want black Americans)• The idea is to gradually emancipate slaves and then send them to Africa orset up a state in the west for them • Upper south wanted to send to Africa (Liberia) as an American colonization society • About 15,000 go to Liberia up to the Civil War-doesn’t become a solution • emancipation=slow, gradual, no black American colonization society-slav-ery needs to be ended because its dangerous • Nat Turner was a slave who had a vision that it was times for them to be freed so he and a small slave army went on a rampage and killed every white person they could find in 1831• Rebellion proved slaves are dangerous and were the revolts Virginians feared• The Virginia Convention met and seriously discussed a gradual plan for ending slavery (West Virginia more than east because they didn't have as many slaves• Big Planters still have most political power and ultimately prevail in stop-ping movements• The last time slavery is seriously discussed about ending in the South • Abolitionist movement forms in the North • grows out of the second great awakening• Abolitionism= immediate way out of slavery, slavery is evil and morally wrong-William Lloyd Garrison is a leader of the abolitionist movement• David Walker is a free black Bostonian who in 1829 published the “appeal to the colored citizens of the world” which called for slaves to take up arms against their masters and free themselves-rejects the idea of American col-onization society because blacks have formed the USA• Garrison starts publishing The Liberator newspaper as an abolitionism sorrylike paper• Abolitionist campaigns: flooding abolitionist papers into the South through the mail (sent to 20,000 Southern Whites who had been emancipationists to push them to abolitionism)-used Federal post office so it wasn't censoredby States mail-fears in South that literature would get into the hands of slaves and other revolts would form puts the south on defensive, South hasto start defending the institution of slavery and passed legislation to stop this (banning slaves ability to learn how to read, more restrictions on the freedoms of slaves-traveling from plantation to plantation), Southerners of-fer rewards to those who will help kidnap Garrison and bring him to the South to be dealt with, Southerners break into post office and steal all the abolitionist literature• Abolitionists are sending out petitions to Congress and South responds in 1836 by passing the Gag Rule which bans Congress from discussing any anti-slavery or slavery discussions because slavery is a State issue • Undermines American Freedom and 1st amendment rights which angered even the people who don't care about slavery-brings more criticism to Southern Slave Power• Abolitionism wasn't popular in the North-nationalists believed abolitionists would create sectional divisions and go against unified society, workers in the North feared the end of slavery because it will increase labor competi-tion (drive wages down similar to the immigrants)• Most northerners were racist and didn't believe blacks were equal-slavery was not that troubling of an issue to them • Even gradualists-empancipationists gradually believe abolitionism is dan-gerous to the American society and country • Southerners responded very aggressively which hardens their believes thatslavery is good and turn tables on the North that slaves are better off than workers in the North because they do the same work but slaves have own-ers who look out for them and have an incentive to keep their slaves well-owners don't care about workers because they are replaceable • Part of the paternalist deal is that when slaves get too old to work slave owners will take care of them until they die • Slavery is a more moral system then the “wage slavery” of the North be-cause it is more humane • North is a free labor system where they can choose how much they work and for how long-northerners can work their way out of factories • Celebrates entrepreneurism, class mobility, individualism• Slavery threatens free labor if it expands in the West expansion• Gag rule is an overreaction from the south which forced northerners to pay attention • Abolitionism is most effective when it caused the South to overreact • Abolitionism sparks the women’s rights movement and was led at first by supporters of the abolitionist movement • Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott form the Seneca Falls Conventionin 1848 as the first meeting for women's rights • They issue the Declaration of Sentiments to extend democratization/repub-licanism to women-based off the constitution• All men and women are created equal, want women's suffrage, want an end to mens control over them, say men suppress women psychologically • Beginning of organized women political movement • Want to widen the scope of
